From my own experience, starting from scratch in software development is a grind. Getting the hang of job-hunting skills without hitting a wall (or several) is damn near impossible.
But here’s the thing: every failure? It’s a lesson. 🥇 Those screw-ups refine your approach, sharpen your skills, and eventually lead you to that first job offer.
I’ve been there—rejections piling up, interviews where I felt like a fraud, and moments when I thought, “Maybe this isn’t for me.” But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: persistence wins. Each attempt made me better. Each “no” brought me closer to a “yes.”
Luck? Sure, it plays a part. 🍀 But if you’re not prepared when it shows up, it doesn’t mean shit. That lucky break only matters if you’ve done the hard work to be ready when it arrives.
So, if you’re feeling stuck or like you’re going in circles, keep going. Take every rejection as a challenge, every failure as feedback, and trust that the grind is worth it.
